Winnie Ama’s “What Are We - Jazzy Mix” is a reworking of a track that already has an emotionally complex topic at its heart. The reimagined version is a reworking of the original “What Are We,” placing the song in a jazzy setting while also offering an incredible link to the most recent Supergirl film starring Milly Alcock.
The narrative behind the new shape of the track is extremely interesting. Winnie Ama played the song live, translating it into an alien language and performing it in this jazzy style for the film. The creative connection didn’t stop with the performance, as the song was given a full piece in BBC News.
“What Are We” is about the strain of being emotionally invested in someone whose beliefs are the exact opposite of yours. The song is about the ambiguity that arises when a relationship begins to raise more questions than answers, leaving someone to question whether what exists between two people is truly enough.
The Jazzy Mix provides a fascinating new framing on that topic. Rather than replicate the original notion, the reinvention shifts the song into a different musical identity while the core emotional tension remains intact.
